3 men sought in Pinal County sexual attack

Pinal County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help to identify three men in the sexual attack of an Oracle woman early Sunday, officials said.

The Sheriff’s Office said two men dragged a 34-year-old woman from her front porch at about 2 a.m. and held her in the back of a black pickup while a third man drove the truck to a desert area of Oracle in southern Pinal County.

After parking the truck, all three men sexually assaulted the woman and left her in the desert, according to a Sheriff’s Office statement.

Authorities said the woman wandered in the desert until she found a jogger, who called 911. The woman was transported to a Tucson-area hospital for severe injuries received during assault, the Sheriff’s Office statement said.

The victim described one of her attackers as a chubby male, wearing a red long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. The second atttacker was of a medium build, had a mustache, and was wearing a light blue T-shirt with blue jeans and New Balance shoes. The third attacker was described as a man with a medium build, wearing jogging clothes and a Nike jacket that bore a reflective swoosh emblem.

All three suspects were believed to be in their 30s.

The city of Oracle is located on Arizona 77, northeast of Tucson.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Investigation Bureau at 520-866-5149. After-hours calls should be made to agency dispatchers at 520-866-5111.
